Question re: swimming with sharks

[Tical]

At a casino poker room (WA state), are there any particular times during the week that the tougher players generally play? I'm an intermediate and would prefer avoiding them...

Thanks!

It's the same time most of the fish play. Why do you want to avoid them? If someone is pwning you then just avoid getting a lot of money in a pot with a marginal hand against them. Chances are there are more fish than good players at any given table on any given evening.

The only way to avoid the good players is by playing during the day against the retired local nits and rocks. Some people take a perverse kind of pleasure in doing this, so maybe this is for you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeh, the evenings are better than days. In the days you get a lot of retired rock regulars at low to mid limits. Late nights are usually best with more drunks. As the other poster said, the pros are mostly out at the same time the fish are.

Generally, weekends are better, but I find weekdays are better for 1/2 and 2/5 NL games in AC.
